The ASUS Zenbook 14X offers an OLED screen with higher color accuracy, better for visual tasks like photo editing, but has a shorter battery life and is slightly more expensive. The Dell Inspiron 14 7435, on the other hand, has longer battery life and touch support, making it better for on-the-go use and interactive tasks, plus it's generally more affordable and comes with more storage. The Zenbook's Nvidia MX550 GPU provides better performance for 3D tasks or light gaming compared to the Inspiron's integrated Vega 8 graphics. Both have a premium look and are capable for general use, but if you need a laptop for more intensive engineering tasks and can trade off some portability, the Zenbook might be preferred.

NotebookCheck

Sebastian Jentsch | April 2022
"With the Zenbook 14X, Asus has a 14-incher in its range that is - mostly - a joy to use. First, there is the colorful OLED panel with 3K resolution that displays the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The Zenbook is also at the forefront in terms of workmanship, input devices and connections with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and a generous keyboard layout. A pleasure to use, the Zenbook 14X is a solid, very well-built subnotebook that sits well on the table. A runtime of five hours, however, is below average for a high-end subnotebook nowadays. The OLED screensaver causes increased power consumption when in idle mode."

PCMag

Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
